Unit Trusts & bonds
Unit Trust
A Unit Trust can provide a way to invest in the stock market which is lower cost and lower risk than direct investment in the stock market. Unit trusts pool funds from a large number of investors and then spread this across a range of stock market investments.
Investment Bond
The Investment Bond, arranged by The Co-operative Investments and provided by Aviva, is a versatile investment product that you can tailor to meet your needs. The minimum investment is £5,000 and this should be viewed as a long-term investment.
Platinum Bond Plus
A with-profits investment that allows you to invest a lump sum with the potential for higher returns than banks and building societies over the medium to long term. The minimum initial investment is £1000, with the option to add an amount from £500 at any time.
